After sleeping in and having breakfast, I decided to head to West Yellowstone to update my phone and computer. As I was leaving the park I drove down the Madison River drive and saw my first bald eagle of the year. I have seen them before there and liked to watch them try to get a fish in the river. This one seemed to be looking for rodents or small game as he was not watching the river much. Taking a few photos I headed to West Yellowstone and the McDonald's to get a tea and use their internet to update my computer. I called Cathy and talked to her and Viviann also. They were doing fine and Cathy gave me some great news I have been praying for. I won't say what it is but it made me happy.
After the computer and phone were updated I decided to head to my favorite spot outside of Yellowstone, Johnny Sack's cabin. I figured on a Tuesday and it being September 28th, that the place would be deserted and I could maybe hope to see a moose on a short hike around the area. I got there and there was only one vehicle in the parking lot. Which was good. So I set my watch to record a hike and set off down the trail in hopes of seeing a moose feeding along the creek created by the springs. Alas I did not see a moose but the weather was perfect and the scenery was great. See pictures below.
After a three mile hike I headed back to the dorm for a lunch of PBnJ and to get some reading done at the Old Faithful Inn. I have not been to the inn this year and wanted to see it while there are few tourists. See pictures below. I enjoy walking around that old structure and have often wondered what it would be like to be a care taker of the place in the winter when it is closed down. Maybe that would be a job for a future time.
Will head back to work tomorrow and we got a delivery truck today, so I will have plenty of stock to put up. We still have the threat of a government shutdown hanging over are heads. We will see come Thursday if the government can get their act together and put their house in financial order without causing harm to the people or the economy. Thanks for reading and enjoy the pictures. Take care.
